to all fellow unix users, just a little comment to say that sierra chart rocks on freebsd, if you ever want to try a different taste of the unix world ;) (it won’t run on openbsd or netbsd though since those do not support wine).
also, with just a little text file in the .config the font smoothing issues are gone.
my only issue has ever been the support for a gaming mouse, but xbindkeys and xdotool does the job, sierra trading shortcuts are now working very well with my logitech mouse.
there is no need to turn on the setting to use a single buffer. I did notice though that compared to windows, the downloads are much much faster!

Anyone doing sierrachart ACSIL development on Linux? I run arch linux but I have a windows 11 Machine specifically for SC with Visual Studio for debugging. I tried C-lion but after attaching to .exe the breakpoints don't work but it works perfectly on Visual Studio.

I am doubting what body parts I would give up to have SC Native linux :-) We won't see this ever imho since SC is using the Win32 apis quite heavy.

Thanks.

yes, I do that, any simple editor will do it since you can remotely build your studies directly from sierra chart

one thing just came into my mind:
- SC doesn't need any marketing πŸ˜‚

Linux? check
custom build and config? check
reliable and fast? check

@archymede how do you set your breakpoints then?

@YSS,

I put Manjaro (Arch based) on my 9-year-old Mac Book, running Windows 10 with Oracle Virtualbox, I have no problem running Visual Studio, although I don't do ASCIL on my Mac Book though. I mainly using Windows 10 to test Ninja, the speed is acceptable to me.

Yes you can use the remote compiler, although if you include additional dependencies you might need to use a local compiler. I build the binaries on a Windows 11 virtual machine running inside my Debian 12 box. The software that runs the virtual machine is called LXD.

I edit the source and debug the studies on the parent Linux box. I switch over to the VM and build locally there using clang 16 which uses MSVS. I tell my build script which source I need to obtain, it grabs it using scp, builds the DLL on Windows 11 VM, then copies the binaries back over to the Linux box where I can run them on Sierra through Wine.
